Ryan made a surprise announcement on Wednesday that he will not run for re-election and that he's leaving to spend more time with his teenage children. Rep.

"And I really don't think I'll change my mind". "So, Republicans there have to walk a very careful line in order to win elections", Lindorff told Radio Sputnik, predicting that Scalise is more likely than McCarthy to be Ryan's successor.
